The Catastrophe of Escalation in the War with Iran

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, the U.S. Transhumanist Party discussed the war between Israel and Iran and the recent entry of the United States into that war. Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II provided a thorough critique of the Israeli first strike and the Trump Administration’s involvement.  Trump’s decision, announced with characteristic bombast as the only way to stop Iran’s aggression, has drawn the United States into a conflict that risks American lives, assets, and the very survival of human civilization. As a transhumanist committed to reason, individual liberty, and the preservation of human potential, Chairman Stolyarov condemned both Israel’s initial strike and Trump’s reckless escalation as affronts to the principles of a free, flourishing, and forward-looking society. This war threatens not only regional stability but the future of humanity itself.

This Salon also included commentary by the USTP’s Director of Visual Art and current Vice-Chairman, Art Ramon Garcia, and interactions with audience comments made via the live YouTube chat.
